Do these colors really make this color?

Question

does yellow and blue really make green? if so why? please tell me I'm not really that smart please I'm begging you

Answer 1

Um, yes. They do. Just try it. It does.

Answer 2

mix the colors and see

Answer 3

Yes. Overall you have 3 primary colors, and two pigments. Primary - Red, Blue and Yellow. Pigment Black and white.

All the colors in the world can be made from these 5. all depending on how much of one color/pigment is added.

Have you ever seen someone make frosting? one drop of red mixed with white frosting makes pink (pale) more drops make a deeper shade of pink until so many make red. add a drop of yellow and you have a shade of orange.

Same happens with Blue/yellow to make green.

Try this with crayons. lightly at first (dark color first).

Remember dying eggs? Did you ever double dip your egg? do you remember how the colors blended?

Works the same way.

Have fun and good luck.

BTW - With moms permission ( I am assuming you are a youth/teen) you might want to ask if you can dye eggs just to try. Then make everyone eggsalad sandwiches!!!

Answer 4

ya if you dont believe me mix them a yellow and blue crayon  

Answer 5

Only with pigments. That is a subtractive process that forms black if complementary colors are combined, e.g. red and green. With light, the results would be different, since that is an additive process that forms white when complemetaries, e.g. blue and orange, are blended.  

Answer 6

The human eye contains three types of cone cells. Each type is most sensitive to a certain frequency. The three key frequencies are roughly red, green, and blue. If all three cone cells are stimulated equally, we perceive the sensation as "white". If the blue-type cone cells are stimulated, but the red and green ones aren't, we perceive the sensation as "blue", and so on.

The three primary colors of light are indeed red, blue, and green. However, the three primary colors of *pigment* are cyan, yellow, and magenta, (check a color printer if you don't believe me). This is due to the fact that pigments don't emit their own light. They only reflect light selectively.

Magenta pigment strongly absorbs green light. When white light (i.e., all frequencies) strikes magenta pigment, red and blue light is reflected, while green light is absorbed. The red and blue light strike your eye and produce the sensation of magenta.

Likewise, cyan pigment strongly absorbs red light, while reflecting green and blue light. Yellow pigment strongly absorbs blue light, while reflecting red and green light.

When you're dealing with light sources, the colors are additive: red + blue = magenta, red + green = yellow, etc. When you're dealing with pigments, the colors are subtractive: white - blue = yellow, white - red = cyan, etc.

It's only the fact that we happen to have three types of cone cells each most sensitive to a specific color that makes any color more 'primary' than another. Most birds have four types of cone cells. Primary colors for birds would completely different

Answer 7

yes, yellow and blue make green.But I do not know why...

Answer 8

Yes, it does...try it you'll see.
